Observe Spain’s Hidden Gems Aboard El Transcantábrico
If you’re going to travel along Spain’s picturesque north coast then you might as well book a ticket on El Transcantábrico, one of the country’s most luxurious five-star rail lines. Both the deluxe and junior suites radiate a sense of luxury, as do the saloon cars.
The train makes use of vintage Pullman coaches from 1923, leaving passengers with the feeling that they’ve been transported back to a very lavish point in time. Although El Transcantábrico is marketed as a five-star hotel on wheels, the real reason to book a ticket is to observe the magnificent views along the way.
The route will take you to such coastal destinations as Viveiro, Luarca, and Candás, giving you the option to stay on board for between two and five nights.
